Reflective Parenting by Curious Neuron
In today’s episode, we’re joined by Dr. Julie Scorah a licensed neuropsychologist at McGill University. Julie practices as a clinician and is involved in research about how to make autism resources more accessible to the families that need them. Here’s a preview of what we talked about:
11:21 - What should parents be looking for in terms of symptoms? When is the proper age to get a diagnosis and how is autism diagnosed?
18:52 - What is the prevalence of autism?
22:22 - Does autism present differently in girls than in boys?
25:52 - What are the motions after your child receives an autism diagnosis? Is it all bad?
37:22 - Is there DNA testing available to help diagnose autism and is it useful?
39:38 - What are the differences in the brain of a child with autism compared to a typically developing brain
42:53 - Are any birthing conditions (preeclampsia, pre-mature, etc) correlated with the likelihood of the child having autism?
46:40 - Why do autistic individuals have sensory sensitivities and what are they?
51:57 - Can being female be protective against developing autism?
